Lyrics

Alaska

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I always had to tell her to relax

And the cat can slip in doors

Through a multitude of cracks

And it's funny what they'll do

Cause cracks lead outside too

When I asked her where she's goin

She said far away from you

Stuck here on my own now

Diggin down deep

I don't understand it

But I'm not losin sleep

I'm gonna lay down

Or head north out of town

I don't know

But I think I'll go

And try dog mushin with an eskimo

In alaska

Alaska

I guess I'll try alaska

Somewhere she might wait for me

I'll catch up just wait and see

Idaho nebraska

I don't know I'll ask here

Guess I'll try

Think I'll try alaska

Sold my old piano for the rent

I loaded up on bugspray and I found my daddys tent

Now I'm in high gear

Doin 45

Hummin a tune

I wont see the moon

Til sometime in july

I guess I couldve flown or took a train

But you wont see a moose

If you're sittin on a train

And now there's no more road

But I got a light load

And if she isn't in alaska

I'll stay and pan for gold

Alaska

Alaska

I guess I'll try alaska

Somewhere she might wait for me

I'll catch up just wait and see

Idaho nebraska

I don't know alaska

I guess I'll try

I think I'll try alaska

Just when I thought I'd end up alone

Big ol-laskan mama come walkin down the road

(Jam)

Alaska alaska

I'll stay right here in alaska

All settled down and havin fun

Here in the land of the midnight sun

Is it time to call the pastor?

I don't know I'll ask her

I'll stay right here

Stay right here

I'll stay right here

Stay right here

(Take it cactus)
